Canadian Boating Exam Practice Quiz

What is required onboard any boat that uses a gasoline engine?

1. Fireproof materials

2. Ignition-protected electrical devices

3. Manual fuel pumps

4. Battery operated appliances

The correct answer is: Ignition-protected electrical devices

A few things are necessary for any boat that uses a gasoline engine. While some of the other options mentioned may be good safety measures, they are not specifically required for boats with gasoline engines. For example, fireproof materials may be helpful in case of a fire, but they are not a strict requirement. Likewise, manual fuel pumps are not as necessary since most boats have electric fuel pumps. Battery operated appliances may be convenient to have on board, but they are also not specifically required for boats with gasoline engines. The only thing that is consistently required by law is to use ignition-protected electrical devices. This helps reduce the risk of accidental fires or explosions near gasoline fumes. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
